Norges Bank’s operational conduct of monetary policy shall be oriented towards low and stable inflation. The operational target of monetary policy shall be annual consumer price inflation of approximately 2.5 per cent over time. In general, direct effects on consumer prices resulting from changes in interest rates, taxes, excise duties and extraordinary temporary disturbances shall not be taken into account. Norges Bank places particular emphasis on CPI inflation adjusted for tax changes and excluding energy products (CPI- ATE) when assessing underlying inflation. Horizon and implementation 33 Norges Bank operates a flexible inflation targeting regime, so that weight is given to both variability in inflation and variability in output and employment. Monetary policy influences the economy with long and variable lags. Norges Bank sets the interest rate with a view to stabilising inflation at the target within a reasonable time horizon, normally 1-3 years. The more precise horizon will depend on disturbances to which the economy is exposed, and how they will affect the path for inflation and the real economy ahead. The decision-making process The key interest rate is set by Norges Bank’s Executive Board. Decisions concerning interest rates and other important changes in the use of instruments will normally be taken at the Executive Board’s monetary policy meeting every sixth week. The analyses in Norges Bank’s Inflation Report, together with assessments of price and cost developments and conditions in the money and foreign exchange markets, form the basis for monetary policy decisions. The main features of the analysis in the Inflation Report are presented to the Executive Board for discussion at a meeting about two weeks before the Report is published. On the basis of the analysis and discussion, the Executive Board assesses the consequences for the monetary policy strategy and interest rate-setting in the period to the next Inflation Report. Their assessments are published in Section 5 of the Inflation Report. Communication of the interest rate decision and reporting The monetary policy decision is announced at 2pm on the day of the meeting. The Bank holds a press conference at 2.45pm on the same day, whether interest rates are changed or left unchanged. The press release and the press conference are available on Norges Bank’s website, www.norges-bank.no. Norges Bank reports on the conduct of monetary policy in the Inflation Report and the Annual Report. The Bank’s reporting obligation is set out in §75c of the Constitution, which stipulates that the Storting shall supervise Norway’s monetary system, and in §3 of the Norges Bank Act. The Annual Report is submitted to the Ministry of Finance and communicated to the King in Council and to the Storting in the Government’s Kredittmelding (Credit Report). The Governor of Norges Bank provides an assessment of monetary policy in an open hearing before the Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs in connection with the Storting deliberation on the Credit Report.

The transparency of the basis for monetary policy decisions has increased substantially in recent years.1 Norges Bank is now further enhancing transparency by publishing the Executive Board's monetary policy strategy for the next four months (Strategy Document) as part of the Inflation Report at the beginning of the period. Since we for a period have also presented a more extensive account of the background for interest rates decisions, it will no longer be necessary to publish a separate statement with an assessment of the inflation outlook. The formulations as to the horizon for monetary policy have also been adjusted. The new wording reads as follows: Monetary policy influences the economy with long and variable lags. Norges Bank sets the interest rate with a view to stabilising inflation at the target within a reasonable time horizon, normally 1-3 years. The more precise horizon will depend on disturbances to which the economy is exposed and how they will affect the path for inflation and the 7 real economy ahead. The new formulations better express the conduct of monetary policy. The point of departure for the monetary policy strategy ahead is the very low level of inflation. Inflation has been lower than the inflation target since autumn 2002. The aim of monetary policy is higher inflation. The monetary policy stance is therefore expansionary. The projections in this report are based on the assumption that the interest rate and krone exchange rate move in line with market expectations. There is considerable uncertainty surrounding these assumptions, and hence price developments. In relation to the previous Inflation Report in March, where inflation was projected to return to target two years ahead, the projections are now based on the assumption that the krone exchange rate will be 31⁄2% stronger through the projection period. This is the main reason why the projections in this report show a path for inflation where inflation does not reach target until summer 2007. The Executive Board's assessment is that monetary policy should be oriented towards achieving higher inflation at an earlier stage. A more expansionary monetary policy than in the baseline scenario in this report might contribute to this. The most appropriate alternative now seems to be that the interest rate should be kept unchanged for a longer period than indicated by market expectations. The prospect of continued low inflation in Norway also implies that Norway should not be the frontrunner when interest rates are increased in other countries. The Executive Board’s assessment is that the economic projections imply a sight deposit rate in the interval 11⁄4 - 21⁄4% at the beginning of November 2004. If the krone appreciates substantially, this may provide a basis for considering an interest rate at the lower end of, or below, the interval. The unusually low interest rate and uncertainty concerning the effects of previous monetary policy easing imply that we should exercise caution with regard to further interest rate reductions. On the other hand, given the prospect of low inflation ahead, wide deviations from projected economic developments would be required before it would be appropriate to increase the interest rate within the strategy period. Jarle Bergo 1 July 2004 1 See box on page 21 in Norges Bank's Annual Report for 2003. Inflation report 2/2004 Summary of economic developments Inflation is low. Since the March Inflation Report, inflation has moved in line with projections. Inflation is being restrained by the appreciation of the krone in 2002, the fall in prices for imported consumer goods, measured in foreign currency, and strong competition in many industries in Norway. Low interest rates and the international upturn are stimulating activity in the Norwegian economy. According to preliminary national accounts figures, demand in the mainland economy was stronger than projected at the end of last year and early in 2004. The output gap is expected to close, but to remain marginally negative in 2004. 8 The cyclical upturn in the world economy has gained a firmer footing. The recovery is broadening, particularly reflecting a pick-up in growth in several euro-area countries in recent months. Growth among Norway’s main trading partners has been somewhat stronger than previously assumed, and growth projections for 2004 have been revised upwards.

  • How Uniform Was the Old Norse Religion?
    II. Old Norse Myth and Society HOW UNIFORM WAS THE OLD NORSE RELIGION? Stefan Brink ne often gets the impression from handbooks on Old Norse culture and religion that the pagan religion that was supposed to have been in Oexistence all over pre-Christian Scandinavia and Iceland was rather homogeneous. Due to the lack of written sources, it becomes difficult to say whether the ‘religion’ — or rather mythology, eschatology, and cult practice, which medieval sources refer to as forn siðr (‘ancient custom’) — changed over time. For obvious reasons, it is very difficult to identify a ‘pure’ Old Norse religion, uncorroded by Christianity since Scandinavia did not exist in a cultural vacuum.1 What we read in the handbooks is based almost entirely on Snorri Sturluson’s representation and interpretation in his Edda of the pre-Christian religion of Iceland, together with the ambiguous mythical and eschatological world we find represented in the Poetic Edda and in the filtered form Saxo Grammaticus presents in his Gesta Danorum. This stance is more or less presented without reflection in early scholarship, but the bias of the foundation is more readily acknowledged in more recent works.2 In the textual sources we find a considerable pantheon of gods and goddesses — Þórr, Óðinn, Freyr, Baldr, Loki, Njo3rðr, Týr, Heimdallr, Ullr, Bragi, Freyja, Frigg, Gefjon, Iðunn, et cetera — and euhemerized stories of how the gods acted and were characterized as individuals and as a collective. Since the sources are Old Icelandic (Saxo’s work appears to have been built on the same sources) one might assume that this religious world was purely Old 1 See the discussion in Gro Steinsland, Norrøn religion: Myter, riter, samfunn (Oslo: Pax, 2005).

  • Using Optimization and Simulation to Evaluate Differentiated Stroke Treatment
    Using optimization and simulation to evaluate differentiated stroke treatment Andreas Bergstrøm Aarnseth Erlend Moen Hov Industrial Economics and Technology Management Submission date: June 2018 Supervisor: Henrik Andersson, IØT Norwegian University of Science and Technology Department of Industrial Economics and Technology Management Preface This thesis concludes our Master of Science in Industrial Economics and Technology Manage- ment at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. The objective of this thesis is to implement a model that enables differentiated treatment paths for stroke patients based on their diagnosis. At the same time, the general demand for emergency resources must be cov- ered. By supplementing existing models and methods, optimization will be used to determine optimal allocation of the available emergency units. A comprehensive simulation program is also developed for this thesis. This is used to evaluate the performance of the different opti- mization solutions. The work on this Master’s Thesis in Managerial Economics and Operations Research (TIØ4905) was carried out in the Spring 2018. We would like to thank the personnel at the Ambulance Service at St. Olav Hospital for providing us with necessary data and valuable inputs. We also would like to thank our supervisor, Professor Henrik Andersson, at the Department of Industrial Economics and Technology Management, for constructive discussions and his in- valuable guidance.

    Judgment of 21 June 2001 serial number 4B/2001: 1. Jon Inge Sirum (et al. a total of 200 parties) (Advocate Ola Brekken) versus 1. Essand Reindeer Pasturing District and 2. Riast/Hylling Reindeer Pasturing District (Advocate Erik Keiserud). Justice Matningsdal: This case concerns a dispute as to whether Essand and Riast/Hylling Reindeer Pasturing Districts have common of pasture for their reindeer in privately owned unenclosed areas within the district boundaries in the Municipal Authority Area of Selbu in the county of Sør-Trøndelag. The areas in dispute The two districts were established by Royal Decree on 10 July 1894 under section 6 of what was called the Joint Lapp Act – the Act of 2 June 1883 concerning the Lapps in the United Kingdoms of Norway and Sweden. The districts have been retained unchanged under subsequent reindeer husbandry legislation. Riast and Hylling were originally separate districts, but for the last fifty or sixty years they have been considered and administered as one district. Essand covers an area of approximately 2,300 km2. In the east the boundary of the district follows the national border with Sweden. The southern boundary starts at the national border at Skardsfjellet [Mount Skard], and goes westwards from there to Lake Stugu in Tydal, where it follows the Rivers Tya and Nea to Lake Selbu, then follows the latter and the Rivers Tømra and Kleivåa over into the county of Nord-Trøndelag to the River Stjørdal, and thereafter follows the latter up through Hegra and Meråker back to the national border. Riast/Hylling covers an area of approximately 1,900 km2 and lies south of Essand.

  • Tectonic Features of an Area N.E. of Hegra, Nord-Trøndelag, and Their Regional Significance — Preliminary Notes by David Roberts
    Tectonic Features of an Area N.E. of Hegra, Nord-Trøndelag, and their regional Significance — Preliminary Notes By David Roberts Abstract Following brief notes on the low-grade metasediments occurring in an area near Hegra, 50 km east of Trondheim, the types of structures associated with three episodes of deformation of main Caledonian (Silurian) age are described. An outline of the suggested major stmctural picture is then presented. In this the principal structure is seen as a WNW-directed fold-nappe developed from the inverted western limb of the central Stjørdalen Anticline. A major eastlward closing recumbent syncline underlies this nappe-like structure. These initial structures were then deformed by at least twofur ther folding episodes. In conclusion, comparisons are noted between the ultimate fold pattern, the suggested evolution of these folds and H. Ramberg's experimentally produced orogenic structures. Introduction A survey of this particular area, situated north of the valley of Stjørdalen, east from Trondheim, was begun during the 1965 field-season and progressed during parts of the summers of 1966 and 1967 in conjunction with a mapping programme led by Statsgeolog Fr. Chr. Wolff further east in this same seg ment of the Central Norwegian Caledonides. Further geological mapping is contemplated, the aim being to eventually complete the 1 : 100,000 sheet 'Stjørdal' (rectangle 47 C). In view of the time factor involved in the comple tion of this work, and the renewed interest being devoted to the geological problems of the Trondheim region (Peacey 1964, Oftedahl 1964, Wolff 1964 and 1967, Torske 1965, Siedlecka 1967, Ramberg 1967), some notes on the tectonics of the Hegra area would seem appropriate at this stage.

Prosjektperioden ble avsluttet 1.7.2002, og KOSTRA er nå i fullskala drift. KOSTRAs siktemål er tosidig: • Å frambringe relevant, pålitelig og sammenlignbar styringsinformasjon om kommunenes prioriteringer, produktivitet og dekningsgrader. • Å samordne og effektivisere rutinene og løsningene for utveksling av data, slik at statlige og kommunale myndigheter sikres rask og enkel tilgang til data. Rapporteringshåndboken skal være et hjelpemiddel for å sikre at datautvekslingen mellom kommunene og staten blir mest mulig effektiv, slik at begge parter raskere får tilgang til aktuelle data. Det er åttende året en slik rapporteringshåndbok lages. De statlige myndigheter henter inn både tjenestedata og økonomidata. Tjenestedataene skal i størst mulig grad innhentes fra offentlige registre og i lokale forvaltningssystemer ute på tjenestestedene. Tjenestedataene kobles sammen med

  • Huseiernes Bankundersøkelse 2020
    Huseiernes bankundersøkelse 2020 Hvordan er konkurransebildet i det norske bankmarkedet, og hvem kan få lån hvor? Huseiernes Boligfakta Nr 2-2020 Versjon 1, 30.november 2020 Kontaktperson: Kristin Gyldenskog Banker som har kommentarer eller endringer til oversikten kan ta kontakt på [email protected] Forsidefoto: Samuel Han (fra Unsplash) 2 Innledning Den aller største bokostnaden for nordmenn er rentekostnaden. Huseierne er opptatt av at norske boligeiere skal ha så lave rente- og bokostnader som mulig. Derfor er det viktig med størst mulig konkurranse i bankmarkedet. På landsbasis er rentekostnadene i 2019 for en gjennomsnittsbolig på 120 kvadratmeter 47.280 kroner, mens totale bokostnader er på 116.392 kroner. Det betyr at rentekostnadene utgjorde 41 prosent av boligeiernes samlede bokostnader. Dette viser Huseiernes bokostnadsindeks for 2020. For å få ned rentekostnadene er det viktig at konkurransen i bankmarkedet er størst mulig, men det norske bankmarkedet er uoversiktlig for forbrukerne. Det tradisjonelle mønsteret med landsdekkende, regionale og lokale banker brytes nå opp med digital tilgang til banktjenester. Samtidig er det fortsatt flere banker som bare gir lån i sine lokalområder. Derfor er det svært vanskelig for bankkunder i ulike kommuner å finne ut hvilke banker de faktisk kan bli kunde og få lån i. Huseierne har derfor gått gjennom alle norske banker som tilbyr boliglån til forbrukere, for å kartlegge hvilke banker som gir lån i hvilke kommuner. Målet er å vise konkurransebildet for forbrukerne i de ulike delene av landet, og fortelle forbrukerne i ulike kommuner hvilke banker de faktisk kan få lån i. Undersøkelsen er foretatt i oktober og november 2020.
